Michael Jordan – $1.65 Billion
Michael Jordan, probably the greatest player to have ever graced the NBA courts, had amassed a fortune by the time he’d reached retirement – and that has only grown. Now, he’s worth $1.65 billion. In just one year, he went from a multi-millionaire to a worldly billionaire. According to Forbes, Jordan has broken into the list of billionaires for the very first time in 2018, by adding $350 million to the fortune he had in 2017. This was largely achieved through Jordan Brand and his being a major owner of the Charlotte Hornets.
